Max Verstappen and Chris Lulham managed to win on their NLS debut, but celebrations did not go so smoothly. Watch the video here!
After Verstappen put the Ferrari 296 GT3 in third place in qualifying, the Dutchman already took the lead into Turn 1.
While the race went relatively smoothly for the #31 Verstappen.com Racing car run by Emil Frey Racing, the celebrations were not so smooth.
On the podium, while celebrating his first GT3 victory at the Nordschleife, the four-time Formula 1 world champion found it hard to open his champagne.
